division breaks it, because FF doesn't want to send a potential URL to google (which evaluates math expressions). details here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318813

Thanks to your comment, I did some more research and discovered an about:config flag (browser.urlbar.suggest.calculator) that fixes this for me!
